Karma and the law of non resistance

mudra · 10-23-2008, 12:07 AM

Every year on the 1st of January I cast the I Ching. I do this in order to know what lesson I 'll have to learn along that year for me to grow as a Spiritual being.

A few years ago, I don't remember the hexagram which came forward but I remember very well the lesson I learned from it.

Something very challenging happened in my life during that year for which I would only know the outcome a couple of month later. This was a very highly stressing situation .

This life on Earth is my last one as I know I'll not return here later.
I make it therefore a point of honor to fullfil my cycles to the best of my abilities so that when the time comes I can leave the body with a light heart and clear thoughts.
In other words I really want to be done with my karma.

Somehow living every moment as if it was the last one, is a great teacher too.

The current situation I was in was a real burden .
However it suddenly downed on me to adopt an attitude of least resistance towards the matter and accept it as it was.

That allowed me to let go of all fears and in the end what could have been a gruesome outcome resolved beautifully .

That year through the light of the I Ching , I discovered Karma resolves by embracing it in a positive way. By letting it be just as it comes.

Karma goes on endlessly when you resist it or try to escape from it.It actually keeps coming back to you until you greet it in acceptance and let go of it.

There is'nt really a necessity to analyse and understand the specific reasons for something " bad " or " good "coming your way. Although this might be usefull too.

Just accepting with no judgement and take 100% responsability for whatever comes to you short circuits it, and is sufficient to allow it to untangle naturally.

I found that lesson beautifull and ever since I have applied myself to lead my daily life on these premises.

Life is much easier when one accepts who one is and where one is at any given moment.

Whatever comes in your life hold it in your heart and take it as a blessing.

This allows you to be free of the mind control power and to live in the " NOW ".
By living in the Now you learn to live from your heart and from your soul.
You appreciate every moment of your life.

Living from the heart and from the soul is the greatest purpose of existence.

Love is your essence.

This relates to the art of Aikido.
See below:

Art of Peace # 50

The Art of Peace is the principle of nonresistance. Because it is nonresistant, it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing.

Art of Peace # 51

There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within.

Has anyone here encountered something similar to me ?
